Our first stop was to revisit Hamelin Pool which was a completely different experience from our first windy experience. The weather was mild, the tide was out and we could see the stromatolites clearly from the boardwalk.
Then, we zipped off to Carnarvon for lunch at the one mile jetty. The after buying some provisions and getting some free water from the Aborigine Centre, it was off to the Quobbah Blow Holes for cheap camping next to a beach with a small reef nearby. We got there at dusk and were luck to find a spot for both our camper-trailers. The annex roof and walls made a rare appearance, but provided a nice cosy shelter for the evenings.

A highlight was visiting some of the local farms with cheap and good quality fruit, veg and herbs. We loaded up with plenty, including some exotic ones like star-fruit. Mango and strawberry ice-creams were enjoyed by all

We had a couple of snorkles at the reef (so close you can just wade in from the beach) which got us all excited of the upcoming larger reefs further up the coast. Most of the coral here seems to be bleached, but there is still some startling phosphorescence in some of the coral, with plenty of beautiful fish swimming by.

We played some great board games in the evenings which was fun. Brigit seems to be a grand-master of Scrabble. Jordan has been joining in assisting Robyn, which has been impressive.
Thanks to Lynn for the recipes she sent us. We're looking forward to trying them out soon!
